I am 68 years old born in 1955. When I was in high school, graduating in 1973, teenage boys wore Chuck Taylor's or PF Flyer sneakers. Chuck Taylor's were the most popular. Over the years, I didn't see teenage boys or men wearing Chuck Taylor's because I think they had stop making the Chuck Taylor's. In 2017, I purchased the white Converse All Stars and they took me back to my teenage years in the late 60's and early 70's. Unfortunately, the bottom sole on the All Stars weren't thick enough and walking on gravel or stepping on a cord hurt my feet. I have flat feet by the way. Yesterday, June 1, 2024, I purchased the Converse Chuck Taylor 70's because the bottom rubber is much thicker and they're a better upgrade from the All Stars. The cost was $90 dollars due to inflation and the economy. I have paid close to $200 for Nike sneakers from the Nike store. $90 was a good deal on the Converse Chuck 70's. I am glad I came across the Chuck 70's Parchment/Garnet/Egret color yesterday. I will wore them today with some black Levi jeans and a gray Polo shirt and a black NY Yankee's baseball cap.🤣 I am still trying to capture my youthful days.😁
2 minutes into the vid and i'm already convinced the 70's are the better choice, i've not worn chucks in a long time but i do remember the last pair i had being really uncomfortable, the extra padding is a must for me so now i know which ones to get! thank you very much!
I will say I recommend the all stars over the chuck Taylor for women who wear them for fashion, they’re much more foot forming and slightly more comfy and less bulky. They make your foot like petite and feel like a glove! Plus if you’re wearing them indoors mostly or on streets the thicker rugged heavier style of the converse doesn’t do much. 🎉
I wish the Chuck 70s had the loop on the tongue that you put the laces through to keep the tongue centered. The Chuck 70's tongue loop always slides to the side and I wish you could get the outsole in white and the black one was actually black instead of dark blueish.
Thank you very much for this video, it is exactly what I needed. My birthdays coming up and I didn’t know what to get myself also I’ve been in the market for new shoes but didn’t know where to look. I usually wear old school vans and all star converse but wanted to switch it up and the 70’s won me over. Thank you very much for the brief explanation of the difference between the two.
I have the all stars in leather and the 70s in canvas. I use the all stars for lifting and I feel the leather look elevates my look in the gym. For going out and casual outings, I love the 70s for the thicker sole and higher quality materials and stitching.
Chuck 70s don’t have the loops for the laces. Idk why they didn’t put it on them but that is important to know cuz they can’t hold the shoe tongue properly.
The original Allstars never did it for me, however, the 70’s are totally different. The high quality materials, thicker sole and the smaller, narrower toe cap make them look far better. I bough the 70’s in Parchment colour. I’m hooked, I’ll probably buy a black pair of 70’s in the future. Great video. Thanks.
You're the pro so here goes..i saw a dude with another variation of the chuck 70's high top today, it has the same reinforced features in front and the black label in the back BUT had the old school "flat" round logo found near the ankle joint, i dont like the raised puffy plastic-y looking ankle logo. Is there a model number or name for the one with the old school flat logo? thanks
What about the width? I have wide feet but I'm a woman. Being unisex shoes, the standard width should fit, but I'm still not sure, I have never owned a pair of Converse shoes. (Thanks for the vid! I'll be buying the Chuck 70's, once I decide on the width).
I'm thinking about the 70's in the color black, I usually wear vans in a 8 in a half and don't know if I should get them, they look really cute but I'm just not sure, any opinions??
Stumbled on this vid as I am looking at replacing my everyday sneaks as they are splitting where the sole meets the rubber surrounds, both sides. They are Chuck 70 lows, that I thought where normal Chuck Taylors. Only realised that they were 70s after watching this vid. Tbh I was a bit disappointed. I usually wear my Chucks to destruction and this pair, in my opinion, failed prematurely. Not sure I'll replacing them with 70s....still thinking I have worn Converse sneaks almost exclusively for 40 years and have about 8 pairs on the go at the moment - mostly One Star
I love my CONVERSE I have been wearing them most of my life since the 90s I love both of them Chuck 70 and Chuck All Star Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star my favorite shoes of all time I like the Chuck 70 better I love my CONVERSE size us 13 for me I stay with my true size if I go down in size it will be way too small for me not enough toe room for me
I love the cx shoes. I wear size 9. My all stars are 8.5, but my CX shoes are 9. Should I go 8.5 for the chuck 70s? We don't have a shoe store that carries them.
Do the 70s just give the appearance of having a thicker sole or is the sole actually noticeably bigger? I don’t want it to add to my height I think I’m already a little tall lol
So the 70's are basically PF Flyer's but with a 30$ price increase? Guess they can get away with that since PF Flyer's went out of business a couple years ago. Edit: PF Flyers are still being made, apparently. But the price went up to $80-$90. Oh well, can't have everything in life I guess.
P.S. I forgot to add, Chuck Taylor's today are unisex. Growing up in the 70's as a teenage boy, only teenage boys and young men wore Chuck Taylors. The world is very strange in 2024 with men dressing feminine and women dressing masculine.🤔
What a weird comment. Can you please explain in detail what’s wrong with them being unisex? Is there something masculine about the shoes design or something?

Great I just ordered Chuck 70s, nice to hear good reviews about it

Agree with everything you said! I tried to lay out he info unbiasedly but the 70 is just superior in everyway, cheers!
I wish they offered a non-cream colored rubber option for the Chuck 70s. Sometimes you want a brighter white for more of a visual pop.
I feel that!!! I had to go and buy some cream tees to coordinate better with the shoes haha
if you really want that clear white sole you should get the stussy collab, they're a little pricier but totally worth it imo
Gets dirty tho
100% i went with the white on white all stars due to the smokers teeth yellow on white chucks 70.
No

Thanks for this, in some pics, I couldn't tell the difference (online). Now I know that I still like the All Stars better. Thanks again!
Glad I could help!

that bothers me too honestly good point
I trust this dudes take on the chucks lemme get a pair now
Can’t go wrong!!

Hahah agree with all of that! I just got the parchment color for my birthday 🔥
Hiiii, I've a wide feet. Do you think 70s will work for me? You said narrower toe cap, so.
@@Ayesha-pi2zz probably best to try your normal size and either 1 size or 1/2 size bigger just to make sure.
"i'm a huge fan of that cream" - this guy, 2023
I wear all stars since the 70’s don’t have wide sizing
Both are available in wide sizes atm.
@ finally they have them thank you for letting me know!

And now, if you can, compare Converse Chuck '70 vs Adidas Nizza rf'74. This is real comparison between two "top" shoes from both.
The one thing i dont like about Chuck 70 the out sole is yellowish
That’s fair!! I like the cream color a lot bc I wear a lot of cream shirts and hats
What about Chuck Taylor All Star Malden - What’s the difference?
I have the eva lifts and the igs not a chuck 70 but honestly I would like the cream cooler on my so,e
I'm thinking about the 70's in the color black, I usually wear vans in a 8 in a half and don't know if I should get them, they look really cute but I'm just not sure, any opinions??
Stumbled on this vid as I am looking at replacing my everyday sneaks as they are splitting where the sole meets the rubber surrounds, both sides. They are Chuck 70 lows, that I thought where normal Chuck Taylors. Only realised that they were 70s after watching this vid.
Tbh I was a bit disappointed. I usually wear my Chucks to destruction and this pair, in my opinion, failed prematurely. Not sure I'll replacing them with 70s....still thinking
I have worn Converse sneaks almost exclusively for 40 years and have about 8 pairs on the go at the moment - mostly One Star
Yeah, 9 months in Chuck 70s as everyday shoes and they have started to fall apart
My all stars completely fell apart after only one summer, I’ll definitely try the 70s!
I wear the 70's more than any other shoe and 6 months later can hardly tell any difference!
I love my CONVERSE I have been wearing them most of my life since the 90s I love both of them Chuck 70 and Chuck All Star Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star my favorite shoes of all time I like the Chuck 70 better I love my CONVERSE size us 13 for me I stay with my true size if I go down in size it will be way too small for me not enough toe room for me
I love the cx shoes. I wear size 9. My all stars are 8.5, but my CX shoes are 9. Should I go 8.5 for the chuck 70s? We don't have a shoe store that carries them.
I’d size down!
@@alexnicoll95 I went with 8.5. They get here Friday. I'll update.
@@alexnicoll95 so I went with the 8.5 (same as my classic all stars) and they fit perfectly!
@luckyluc03 which congrates on your shoes and which one is better, high top or mid top for daily life, and why, please?
Do the 70s just give the appearance of having a thicker sole or is the sole actually noticeably bigger? I don’t want it to add to my height I think I’m already a little tall lol
It is physically bigger!
Helpful video. Thank you.
So glad you found it valuable!! Thank you😃
I'm a size 45/11 but is the shoes so snug or its fit is like the adidas superstars for the chuck 70.
I wish they would make the classics (much much better looking in my opinion) be as good as the 70's. I hate the way the tip looks on the 70's...
Do you know how much height the Chuck '70 gives? please
all stars give 0.7 inch so 70s should be about an inch
am a size 10 in all of my other shoes but my chuck 70s am a size 8.5
Isn’t that insane! Like why do that😂
Please suggest Chuck 70 or star player 76
70s easy
You can always just put insoles into your shoes?
all stars don't have removable insoles bro
It doesn’t matter which pair you buy, they both hurt your feet.
R the 70s platform shoes or no they just look like it
No, they're not platform sneakers. The rubber on the bottom is just thick and better than the All Stars.
@@daddygrace253 thanks,appreciate it
What's up with those soles?
So the 70's are basically PF Flyer's but with a 30$ price increase? Guess they can get away with that since PF Flyer's went out of business a couple years ago.
Edit: PF Flyers are still being made, apparently. But the price went up to $80-$90. Oh well, can't have everything in life I guess.
I also hear PF Flyers quality have tanked compared to their legendary legacy prior to their new business acquisition...
@yathercantillano3874 Yeah, I'm not sure. I haven't looked into it. I just assume that they're not doing much business these days.
Which is better
Chuck 70s for material chuck all star for comfortability
Both...
all star looks like it's drunk next to 70s
Hahahah facts
P.S. I forgot to add, Chuck Taylor's today are unisex. Growing up in the 70's as a teenage boy, only teenage boys and young men wore Chuck Taylors. The world is very strange in 2024 with men dressing feminine and women dressing masculine.🤔

I think this guy is ai generated
lmaooo
You should have have tooken out the insole and showed the difference in thickness and softness it’s a lazy move on your part
I have a small collection of them
I prefer Chuck All-Stars!! black and white
